interesting concept about stability - to bad it is incorrect. as an aerospace engineer i can tell you that stability really isn't a design "killer" anymore with high speed flight control systems. almost all fighters (and many others types of aircraft) are unstable in at least on axis or more. with the right flight control software and enough thrust you could make my ford escort fly. there must be a reason other than stability that has kept saucer shaped aircraft from being developed - that is if they haven't been developed in secret......
